I’ve purchased heaps of outdoor and hiking gear over the years. I’ve also had the opportunity to field test and review a heap of hiking gear (most ahs been excellent, some not so good). Check out some of my reviews here. Below is a collection of retailers where I’ve bough my gear and recommend to people who ask. I’ve always found great service and quality of gear excellent. If you are looking for your next piece of hiking or adventure gear, I recommend giving them a go.

Most of their customers are adventurous travellers or those needing to equip themselves for an outdoor adventure – whether that be through School, Scouts or a personal odyssey.
Today SNOWGUM is still 100% Australian and family owned and makes most of their own gear, with their own sourced fabrics and components in their own designs. SNOWGUM care about quality and they care about fit and back that up with the best guarantee in the world. If you’re not happy, they’ll refund your money.
